Hi all,
I recently managed to trash a working pppd v2.3.5 installation under
Redhat v5.0, and as a result decided to upgrade the system completely to
Redhat v5.1. However I cannot now get pppd to work at all.
I downloaded and installed both the v2.3.5-4 Hurricane RPM, as well as
the v2.3.5-1 Turbolinux RPM, neither of which work at all. I am trying
to install them in a server configuration. When I dial up using Win95,
Windows gives me it's usual highly-unhelpful "Could not negotiate a
compatible set of protocols" message. When I check up on the Redhat v5.1
machine, despite me having never successfully logged on via ppp in the
first place, it turns out that pppd was still running, and had to be
killed manually, or left to time out after about two minutes.
Despite the "debug" option being set, nothing useful is logged to the
log file at all. I debug logging broken in v2.3.5?
Has anyone else run into any problems like this? Does v2.3.5 actually
work at all under Redhat v5.1?
My options file looks like this:
# use lock files
lock
# require authentication
auth
# don't fiddle with the routing tables
nodefaultroute
# use passive mode
#passive
# check other side every 60 seconds
lcp-echo-interval 60
# we use a modem to connect
modem
# DNS address for MS clients
ms-dns 196.7.40.14
# WINS address for MS clients (twice due to Windows bug)
ms-wins 196.31.121.1
ms-wins 196.31.121.1
# use proxy arp
proxyarp
# require PAP authentication
require-pap
# keep silent before connection
#silent
debug
The logs show the following output from pppd:
Aug 14 22:00:54 hobbes-yang kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents
of the University of California
Aug 14 22:00:55 hobbes-yang kernel: PPP: version 2.3.5 (demand dialling)

Anyone have any ideas?

Graham
